Babel


Babel

It is sung in a noise of earth

that once upon a time mankind

joined in perfect chorus to raise

a monstrous song to heaven from the land.

It did not sound.

As stony silence fell upon the singers

they were thrown into different speech

in tongues no one of them could understand.

It is sung in a noise of earth....

wonderful music as they are spoken--the art--is mesmerizing--

A friend was over last nite, as we looked in on your gallery/blog/ she was super enthusiastic about the colors and visions u provide--her attraction to your art was high..and immediate..now I must bring the rest of the public at large over to my screen, so that new Tomato fans can hop forth in droves !!!
